Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) Suggestions Tab Selection

I don't know if this was said, I didn't find it. Or if this was in Divine Divinity, because I never played it... yet. I will though. One thing that I like in RPG's is when you hold down tab and it outlines items on the ground and door. It was in Baldur's Gate II. I just found it very useful. I was going to see if it was in Divine Divinity before I posted it but I haven't gotten it yet.

This function is provided by the alt key in Divinity, which presumably will remain the same in Beyond Divinity.

Thank you. It's one of things that has to be in this kind of game.

sometimes the alt key didn't show an item i knew it was there....it was handy sometimes though

The only thing I didn't like about it was that it couldn't be bound to another key. I used to bind it to the spacebar in Diablo2 because I used to press the 'Windows' key all the time. Another reason for it is that while your fingers are above the F1-F4 keys, you have to dislocate your thumb in order to put it on the ALT key <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

My thumb would be thankful if this feature could be implemented in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" />

yah...i have had the problem of pressing the windows button 2...and i don't use any of the f-buttons

You can disable the windows key;
r/e: hitting the windows button instead of alt key


You can move your F# hot keys closer to the alt key;
Tutorial-Changing F1-F12 hotkeys to different keys

well that's handy..thnx....i only saw it as a minor problem but it's always good 2 know it can be avoided

Thanks Raze! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/party.gif" alt="" />

I can finally get rid of this useless Windows key...

If the ALT key can't be reassigned in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> I'll at least be able to reassign my F-Keys to / - 1 - 2 - 3 ... (If it works too, that is)

Yeah, in the Beyond Divinity demo the alt key wasn't particularly useful. In fact I don't think it did anything. I don't think there was a way to select ground equipment. I would love to have someone prove me wrong though.

It worked in my case => showed potions, keys, bottles, money, loot the enemy dropped. Doors are highlighted faintly in red.
It does not show containers though => corpses, barrels, chests etc.

Same findings as Kiya.

and same here. always works for me.

Thanks guys. I'll test it again later. Anyone know if there is a way to select both characters at once and move them together? It doesn't seem that it's possible. If it isn't, it would be a suggestion!

Press TAB and click Select All.

the alt key worked for me in BD 2.....

You can also click the bottom right icon under the character portraits to select all characters.

Once again, thanks everyone.
